Snap lock bottom box sizes

The snap lock bottom (also called a 1-2-3 or lock bottom) closes with four flaps that fold in and lock, no glue or tape. Printers sell it for candles, cosmetics, jars and treats; in corrugated board it makes a sturdy shipper.

Typical sizes from printers' lists, not a standard: every supplier's list is a little different. Most stock sizes are square; any size works.

Sizes for the other tops

Few shops sell these tops in stock sizes. Where none publish one, the sizes come from a box template's default or from the table above with this top. For the roof, the height is the walls; the roof comes on top.

How to measure

Length: side to side across the front, crease to crease.
Width: front to back, across the side.
Height: bottom to top, without the lid or flaps.

Which top?

The bottom is the same in every version; you pick the top. A tuck lid for a retail carton, a hang tab to hang it on a shop peg, four flaps that meet for tape, a carry handle, the same snap lock as the bottom, a house-shaped roof, a flip lid, an angled front, or no top at all for a tray or a box with a separate lid.

Which board?

The default is 0.6 mm paperboard, as for most retail cartons. For heavier goods or shipping, pick a corrugated board up to 7 mm. The board doesn't change the sizes you enter: it only moves the lid, the clearances and the slots.
